LTE vs HSPA+....the great debate?

Now that I have a few days and done some speed testing across different areas I feel I can begin sharing what I feel will be the "Norm" using straight talk.  More impressions to follow after my first full month with them.

Give it to me Straight

I have decided that I will start my prepaid adventure with Straight Talk Wireless.  Straight talk offers unlimited minutes, texts and data for $45 per month.  Data is "unlimited" but a lot of forums report that you get warnings after 2 GB of data and can even get cut off for the month for heavy abuse.  I personally usually use about 1.5 GB per month, so I see no problem using this service.  It is certainly giving me peace of mind not having to worry anymore about going over on my minutes on my 450 minute plan from Verizon.

The GSM Galxay Nexus by Google

Here it is..my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus direct from Google

Simplicity, no flim flam

What a beautiful piece of technology!  I have been wanting to get this phone since Google started offering it months ago.  Thankfully I was waiting for my contract end date, so I refrained from purchasing any phone until I got closer to the end date.  I spent countless hours researching what phone to get.  I searched plenty of used bargains on eBay, craigslist, CowBoom , but I ended up deciding on this phone as soon as Google dropped the price to an amazing $350 at their I/O 2012 conference. What I want from my technology is no bloatware, fast and frequent updates, simplistic design and lots of features.  The Galaxy Nexus checks all those boxes for me. 

Up up and away!!!

I figure I should let everyone know that I will be away for the 4th of July week.  I will do my best to post, but if I don't, there will most certainly be updates right after.

I hope you all take the time and follow my blog by signing up on the right side.  This means a lot to me and is actually proving to be a bit theraputic in allowing me to focus my mind on these posts.

I do appreciate all who have come to visit my blog and hope that the information I am providing is helpful.  I will be transitioning to prepaid in about 2 weeks and will detail that completely on here.
Hope everyone has a smashing 4th of July!!

Food for thought!

Om nom?

With Google annoucing now that the GSM galaxy Nexus is being dropped to $349, I thought everyone would like a comparison on how much you can save by going prepaid instead of postpaid.

Remember, this is a simple comparison and depends where you live and what service you choose.  This will hopefully start making more sense to folks as I post more about different carriers that offer more coverage.
